Scambait Campbell Ryan R. Campbell

Ever since his grandma squandered the family fortune to two-bit hucksters from "Microsoft Tech Support," corporate do-little Eric Amundsen has spent his workdays wasting the time of Nigerian princes and car warranty salesmen everywhere.

But when Eric's supposedly long-deceased father contacts him through his spam folder, Eric-whose workday mantra isn't exactly "solutions-oriented"-has serious problems to solve.

Distracted by the slew of emails from the person who claims to be his father, Eric's scambaiting shenanigans become increasingly careless, jeopardizing his personal life and his livelihood. As his problems pile up, Eric must choose: turn to a stranger on the internet to help him get his life back on track or embrace utter destitution?

An irreverent exploration of self-image and found family, Scambait is the latest full-length novel from International Book Awards finalist Ryan R. Campbell.
